Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to optimize hearing aid benefit based on the individual auditory-cognitive need using different hearing aid features in first-time hearing aid users between 45-80 years old with bilateral Phonak Audéo ParadiseLumity 70 hearing aids The main questions it aims to answer are
Does cognitive functioning affect hearing aid benefit How can hearing aid fitting be optimized based on the individual auditory-cognitive profile
The hypothesis posits that cognitive abilities influence the effectiveness of hearing aids alongside hearing status Furthermore if features of hearing aids improve speech understanding and listening effort it is proposed that individuals with lower cognitive functioning will experience heightened benefits from hearing aids
The study will consist of three groups one control group and two groups where one different feature will be modified
Participants will be tested at baseline measurement including
screening tests
audiological tests
questionnaires
cognitive tests
real-ear-measurement
Following this participants will be divided in one of the three groups after which speech audiometry will be repeated After a 4-week acclimatization period the second measurement will take place repeating speech audiometry and questionnaires Subsequently the hearing aid settings will be restored to their initial configuration
